He's not left wing anymore in the sense that the left wing gets exponentially more ridiculous by the year. what specific policies does he support that you think makes him left wing universal basic income legalization of drugs and prostitution free college education climate control gay marriage abolition of religion revamping the slaughterhouse industry in favor of animals do i need to go on? of those policies: UBI is a neoliberal idea meant to replace existing social services with money that may or may not cover those services. it is a right-wing idea. the only actual left-wing things are free college and maybe climate control depending on the specifics. the rest of the ideas are commonly supported by leftists, but they're not actually defining points of leftist ideology I'd add decriminalization of certain drugs (not all of them) to this and commuting the sentences of people caught up in unnecessarily harsh or unequally applied drug-related convictions. And I think legalization for prostitution is as much about creating a system to provide legal protections to the sex work industry as it is about dismantling social stigma. Otherwise I agree with this assessment. To hear Yang talk about his UBI proposal, it's explicitly clear that he thinks it will replace the social safety net. This reeks of right wing ideologies being crafted into a poison pill nestled within leftist political discourse to undermine the left's desire to strengthen the social safety net. It essentially does this by appealing to centrism. --- Ignorance is a choice https://imgtc.com/i/7UnK3hx.jpg <cite>hollow_shrine posted [p:923818733] in Survey Sho...
